Yes it is true, two big Hollywood stars would have a future No. 1 with this song. Lee could not have believed that with his singing style he would have even made a record. Lee died in 1987. The film “Paint Your Wagon” from which this song came from was released in 1969, and Lee got paid a MILLION dollars to appear in this film. The song actually dates back to 1951 for the stage version of the show.

Lee’s voice is heard more than Clint’s, and most people refer to this as a hit for Lee alone.

Originally a hit for Laura Nyro in 1966, who also wrote it. She was only 18. The 5th Dimension formed in the early 1960s, and even went on the road with Ray Charles. Their 1967 hit “Up, Up and Away”, won them five Grammy awards. This would be there last big UK hit for the group.

The groups first Motown hit, and the single came from the album “Diana Ross presents The Jackson 5“. Michael was the lead singer, and as a very young boy he was singing lyrics about regretting dropping a love. The single went on to sell six million singles worldwide. This song would be one of four top twenty hits the group would have in 1970 in the UK. In the 1970s the group became global superstars.

70s People

I am one of those baby boomer's, who had the pleasure, and the FUN to grow up in the amazing 1970s. The 70s music was so diverse, and the charts were for everyone from 8 to 80. That was when POP was fun, and the top forty really meant something as it was a shared experience.
I have tried in this site to bring back the memories of the 70s, not just the pure pop, but also the heavy guys like Floyd and Black Sabbath.
Everything had a place in the music of the 70s, and everything has a memory for one of us 1970s boomers.
